##VIRGIN# does not work :/ - HTC One V

I'm trying to activate my old One V by running the "##VIRGIN#" number through the dialer, and it just doesn't work. I press the call button and I get the automated "The number or code you have dialed is incorrect". It worked fine on x3reme sense, but because of some bad problems with it, I had to go to AOSP, now it just doesn't work. Any ideas?

Great information, thank you for letting me know. I'll go ahead and recover stock and then just reactivate and push it back to AOSP .

Hi! I bought a used phone with which the previous owner had flashed x3reme sense v5. I tried to activate the phone, and it seems as though the data is activated, but not the dialer/mms. I tried to use the "##VIRGIN#" activation, but it didn't work on the dialer. I'm hoping there's a way to activate it without flashing back to stock software, as I've never done it before. According to u/jaredl45600, the dial codes should work with sense software.
Forgive me if this seems to be a silly question! Any help would be appreciated.

Phone won't make or recieve calls!!! Please help!!!

I've had my Tilt 2 for about a month now. I've tried 4 or 5 different ROMs now, but i've come across a problem all of a sudden that wasn't fixed by a hard reset or flashing the stock ROM back. The phone all of a sudden doesn't work! I can still send and recieve text messages just fine, but the phone doesn't work. It says "Dialing...," sits there silent for a few seconds, then beeps 3 times and goes back to my recent calls list.
Beyond this, I have also not been able to get the text message announcements to work on any ROM except for the stock AT&T ROM. I get the same result with all of them, having tried combonations of several different ROMs and three different copies of MSVC. Now matter how I try MSVC will announce my emails, but not my text messages, which happens to be the exact opposite of what I want. Anyone know how to fix this? A registry edit, maybe?
Also, I have tried several different copies of HTC QuichGPS on these cooked ROMs and they all give me an error when I try to run the program. It says something to the effect of "certificate not being signed...one or more missing components..." Is there a particular version that I need to install, or is Advanced Config not really turning off the certificate security?
Any help with any of these problems would be greatly appreciated, the phone in particular being a higher priority of course. Thanks in advance for any help provided.

No, not yet. I was using the Black ROM. had other issues, so switched to another ROM, then phone went out, so i went back to the stock ROM. i don't remember which one, but one of the ROMs flashed a radio, then the stock ROM flashed a radio again when i reverted back to it. i'm at work. is there anywhere i can get a new radio that IS NOT from a filesharing site? my work computer won't let me visit filesharing sites.

[Q] Issue with ##GPSCLRX# for GPS on CM7

Hey guys, I need a bit of help. I have been using CM7 since build 0, and have been having hte GPS lock issue as everyone else has. I finally got around to going back to a sense ROM to clear the gps using ##GPSCLRX#. When I put that in it asked for the password (MSL code) and I accidentally hit ok, finger slipped. It said password incorrect and I'm not sure if it cleared the GPS or not. I tried to do it again, but when I type in ##GPSCLRX# it just disappears and the password window doesn't come up anymore.
I tried going back to CM7 and then back to a sense ROM, and I can't get that window to pop up again. My GPS still isn't locked consistently, just a quick lock every now and again, so I don't think the clear worked. I don't know how to clear it now.
I tried doing it on Myn's 2.2 and the stock ROM.
Today I did a full wipe and installed a fresh Myn's, and when I type in ##GPSCLRX# it still just disappears from the box, and it never prompts me for a password.
I would really love to get the GPS up and running, because other than that I love cm7. Appreciate the help. If someone can get my GPS up and running well I wouldn't mind donating a few dollars to a beer fund or whatnot.
CM7 RC1 is supposed to have the GPS issues cleared up.
Did you try a factory reset?
RC1 still does it.
I did a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik) when i installed Myn to do the clear, it still wasn't working.
Data wipe via clockwork is the same as factory reset, right?
Maybe this won't help, but you can try unrooting.
Any other suggestions?
Clear Data/Cache on the Dialer in Menu | Settings | Applications? Not sure what else this might muck with.

flash back to frest rom.
copy the attached epst.apk using root explorer to /system/app
when it asks to overwrite accept then install it.
your ## codes should work again.
you can also install 'gps status and tools' and clear the data there
After I went s-on and ran the latest ruu, I had to reapply the GPS fix after I rooted and loaded cm7. I couldn't get the GPS fix to work in Caulkins 1.8. It would reboot and hang at the white evolution screen. I used a rooted copy of the latest stock Tom and everything worked great.

This worked, however I still can't get the GPS to lock. :\
It seems like now I can't even get the GPS activate. If I turn GPS on the icon never comes on in the notification bar. It seems like its only trying to get a lock using the nearest tower or satellite or something.
EVO GPS not locking in GB 2.3
I did a little more research and it turns out that this is a common problem for anyone moving from 2.2 to 2.3 on evo. I found the fix by doing a GPSCLRX from my rooted stock sense rom.
0) Download the 2.3ROM and optional google apps to your sdcard; place it somewhere you can find them when in recovery
1) Download 'msl reader' from android market, run it and record your msl or call Sprint and beg for your msl number and record it for later.
2) ***MOST IMPORTANT PART*** you have to do this from a stock sense ROM. If you made a backup prior to your initial install of a custom ROM just restore it if not get stock ROM from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs
3) Once your stock ROM is up verify your GPS works and locks (GPS toolbox or Maps etc..)
4) With your GPS on; Open dialer and press ##GPSCLRX# or ##4772579#
3) When prompted for the password input your msl code from step 1
4) Phone will reboot in 20 seconds
5) Reboot into recover (power button + down volume)
6) Wipe everything and FLASH 2.3ROM + latest gapps

I'm having GPS issues as well. I tried a similar instructions yesterday except I didn't test my GPS when I restored my stock ROM and turn on GPS during GPSCLRX. If i back up my CM7 rc3 now before I try this again can i just use the restore feature again after unlocking GPS or do I have to wipe and manual flash?
** EDIT ** I'm new to this so I want to add that I'm using the SavagedZen Kernel. Do kernels affect GPS? I haven't read that it does but just wanted to add it to help troubleshooting. I restored to stock ROM and confirmed GPS is working. Hope this works...
Works like a charm! I struggled for hours trying to get it to work and then ran across this thread. Thanks a bunch!
Can anyone help?
I'm trying to follow the ##GPSCLRX# fix documented here. I flashed to a Fresh ROM to get Sense, and got my MSL code.
However when I dial ##4772579# the dialer just locks up (looks like a previous poster had the same issue).
I got around it by saving the number as a contact and dialing the contact.
The phone rings twice then says:
"The number or code you have dialed is incorrect. Please check the number or code and try again. Message 7, Switch 351."
I tried dialing the same number from a free alternate dial app, same response.
Any ideas? No GPS really sucks
(And yes, I have double- and triple-checked that I'm dialing the right number. And yes, Sprint is my carrier.)
Oh, and using the GPS Tools app: Tools -> "Manage A-GPS state" -> "Reset" didn't change anything.

crazedfred, I actually had the same problem today. I think it might have something to do with Fresh and not the method to fix it. I originally tried using fresh and encountered the same problem you're having.
Instead, I used Sprint Lovers as my Sense-ROM and followed the same instructions and everything worked out ok. If done correctly, you shouldn't have to dial ##4772579#. Once you input the last pound sign you should be prompted to enter the number from MSL Reader.
Just a note: When I did this today I started to have some data connection issues but I'm not entirely sure if they are related. I'll update if I can figure it out.
I've had these issues any time I moved from sense to aosp...I just flash to stock rooted, run ##gpsclrx#, enter msl and actually use the GPS after reboot...

how to dial ##3282# (DATA) on AOSP Rom?

easily works on sense roms,but how can i dial ##3282# on non-sense roms?
i need to do the streaming fix
You will have to flash back to a sense rom to be able to do it. As of now, no way to call it from an aosp. I know kushdeck said he was working on a way to get it done tho.

As of right now, it is not possible. EPST has to be incorporated into AOSP which is being done right now by Deck. He has been slowly implementing it into his roms but it isn't working as of yet. You will have to flash back to Sense then back to your AOSP.
Can only be done on a sense rom because off the epst. do a nandroid backup of what you got, flash a sense rom, do your fix, and restore..
Edit. Wow third response, definitely need to master this swype a little more
hey ive read you guys replies, thanks
but im coming from a sense rom, and i did the ##3282# fix prior
but when i flashed cm7 it seemed to not be working
but i'l give it a shot (will nandroid, then flash sense,do the fix,and flash back)
i hope it sticks....

what exactly do you mean when you say let it update data? just run the program and it'll update automatically? or do i have to select an option?
For future reference, ##3282# is not for the GPS, it's for Data Profile Restore. ##4772579# is the code for GPSCLRX.

is the White different then the Black?

I have a black Epic 4G Touch rooted and running EuroSkank just fine. I actually haven't experienced any issues besides video camera with effects causes FC. But I have a friend who has the white Epic 4G Touch and we rooted it, got a custom recovery and all went smooth. The second we put on the ROM on his phone he now is unable to make/Receive Calls and send/receive text/mms messages. Is there a color specific ROM? I tried flashing all sorts of ROMs to the device to fix it, but to no avail can I get it to work.
i have a white one and it works well with all kinds of custom roms. i believe they are the same.

White and black are essentiall the same phone.
Sounds like a network issue.
You could try a complete Stock+Root with an OTA build from sfhub http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229 .
This should set everything right.
OR
You could try reseting the network settings. You'll need your MSL and a stock dialer.
Hands Free Activation/Network Reset:
Open dialer then ##72786# (factory reset on network settings)
Enter your MSL and hit OK
On the SCRTN screen select yes
Phone will auto reboot and take you to Hands Free Activation
If you have an SD card, media scanner will do its thing first.
Re-activation will initiate, let it run (DO NOT TOUCH THE SCREEN, no need to Press OK it will continue on its own)
Phone will then update Profile, then PRL, (you can select cancel when it searches for Firmware update if you want)
Phone will reboot again.
To get you MSL (if you're rooted)
1. Download "Terminal Emulator" from the app market.
2. Open Terminal Emulator.
3. type in getprop ril.MSL (make sure the .MSL is capitalized)
4. Press enter and poof, you have your MSL
Good luck
alright I found the problem. It wasn't the ROM at all, it wasn't the RIL, it wasn't anything to do with the custom ROM. It was actually his line that was having problems with the switch. We got it all figured out and the phone works great now. Thank you for your responses on getting it back up and working. We put a test line on the phone and it called just fine, so we found the issue was actually on his number. Phone fixed, and we are rocking the custom Jelly Bean again. Thank you everyone!

ROM with Advanced Calling?

Hello all! I was just wondering. Is there a ROM that supports Verizon's Advanced Calling feature? I'm currently on Paul Pizz's 7.20 build (which is nearly flawless by the way) and the Advanced Calling feature doesn't work. I've also tried CM13 and Dr. ketan's but no luck.
Anyone have any insight?

I can confirm that it works on the two most recent PaulPizz ROMs. It wouldn't work for me until I went to the new CPF3 ROMs and I tried everything (including a complete restart of the bootloader unlock process on 5.1.1).

Hmm so it definitely worked for you on the 7/20 build? Because that's what I'm on now and whenever I click activate. It tells me to restart my phone. But when I do, the menu reverts back, telling me to activate then restart again.
I'll try the latest update (8/14) and see if I have better luck. Thanks for the reply!
I am having the same problem on PP.r2. I flashed directly from the CPD1 safe upgrade to PP.r2 after doing the MM upgrade and unlock. Advanced calling activated on CPD1 safe upgrade, but did not work after flashing PP.r2 no matter what I did. I went through several resets, flashed back to CPD1 safe upgrade to make sure I wasn't seeing things and it worked. Wiped and flashed PP.r2 and it will not activate. When I go into the advanced calling section, I only see an 'Activate Later' button.
I have also removed the feature from My Verizon online through my PC browser and tried to have it put on my account and activate that way. It will tell me that I am adding a feature to my account and ask if that is what I would like to do, but still does not activate.
I understand that there are several that do not have a problem with getting Advanced Calling to work properly, but I also see that there are more than a few that have this problem.
Not sure if its helpful for you but after unlocking my bootloader for 6.0.1 roms, the only way i was able to get advanced calling/wifi calling to work was to call verizon and have them remove and then re-add the feature to my account. I too was getting the issue where i would activate, it would reboot my phone and the when id go back to check the setting, it would ask me to activate again. I hope this helps you .

I just spent a good 30-40 min with a Verizon rep having them deactivate and reactivate the HD Calling feature and still don't have advanced calling enabled. It just goes gray every time I try to activate it and then back to black after reboot only to tell me I already have the feature. I'm on the latest PaulPizz MM ROM. If anyone has other suggestions I'd love to hear them.
